Yes, but you posted in the wrong category. Anyways, this is the code:

<BGSOUND SRC="YOUR MUSIC LOCATION HERE" LOOP="infinite">

That is of course, in HTML. Enjoy. smile.gif BTW, you could ommit the LOOP line if you want to play the music just once, otherwise, you can set the number of times you want it to be looped, just replace the value of infinite.

I use this...
CODE
<embed src="PUT MIDI/MP3 URL HERE"
autostart="true" loop="true" hidden="true"><noembed><bgsound src=
"PUT MIDI/MP3 URL HERE AGAIN"></noembed>


But it seems like im taking the long way around, lol. happy.gif

there are codes you need, but the trouble with adding music to a site is finding your song on the internet. I think it needs to be a .mp3 file/stream too.

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=1][COLOR=blue]Since I see you've already got the html code for adding bg music, here are some sites for the actual url's for your music. Lycos has a music area and Espew also has a nice collection. Good luck.

Well.... A lot of people find music in the background on sites extremely annoying, I am one of them LOL. The best advice is.. to not use it. But if you feel compelled, then include a button to stop the music, otherwise people x out to not listen to the music.

Uploading it to Astahost, will cost you greatly in bandwidth, since an mp3 is average about 3 to 4MB. .wav is even bigger (let's say HUGE).

There ARE smaller bandwidth-friendly formats like MIDI, MOD and for those with a real retro love, SID. Even the best SIDTUNES are under 60KB, after all they had to fit into a computer with only 64KB of RAM while leaving room room for code and graphics...

To include SID tunes you need to use something called SIDPLUG tho.

Are you sure this is HTML? Is this supposed to be a new tag because all I know is the <embed> tag. I've never heard of a BGsound tag.

Anyway, I think the best way is to use the <embed> tag. it goes like this:

CODE
<embed src="yoururlname" hidden=false loop=true autoplay=true></embed>


Don't forget to put in "hidden" attribute because the player won't show.

Why bothet taking the long way?

I strongly suggest that you stear clear of putting background music on your site. Most people are put off by the sound in the background and when surfing he web, they might have a radio on, or live internet radio. Putting sound into your site will disrupt this and annoy the visitor, they will ultimately leave.

The only time that background music should be used is when it is for an introduction, which these days isn't the best of ideas to use anyway.

How the guys shown for you, itīs possible and easy. But a comment: I hate sites with sound if it dont have a play/stop and volume control. I just go away from this kind of site. If you want to use for experience or because your client wants, ok, go ahead. But itīs no professional way.

I would just prefer a liittle button that says "Music ON/Music OFF" it is so much simpler and for the love of god don't put midi in, its usually really annoying and a sign of a bad webpage. Anyways put in mp3s cause they have the best effect in my opinion.

For the button, i think you can make it as a flash object and put it in a page, but I'm coding stupid so i don't know what i'm talking about ;D

i agree with moon smile.gif because if you can't stop it it might slow down some computers and if you have your own music on, you get a horrible mix... the slowlion way is better i think (
CODE
<embed src="your url" height=40 width=120>

because that gives you a little player and you can stop it that way, right? on the other hand, a small flashplayer would be better, just because cutting of the edges of the player will probably look crappy, but not everyone knows (someone who knows) flash code

if you wanted the player interface to disappear, and not be all ugly and up in the viewer's grill, you just need to set height and width to 0. the downside is that they can't stop it...
